flag The APA is updating the DSM to a live online resource for timely, science-backed mental health care.

flag The American Psychiatric Association is transforming the DSM, known as the "Bible of psychiatry," from a static print manual to a dynamic, online "living document" that can be regularly updated. flag This change aims to incorporate new scientific findings, biological markers like blood tests and brain imaging, and broader causes of mental illness such as trauma, poverty, environmental toxins, and social stressors. flag The next version, possibly called DSM-6 or a new name, will prioritize timely access to evidence-based practices and input from clinicians and individuals with lived experience, marking a significant shift toward more accurate, preventive, and cause-informed psychiatric care.
